Zara arrived in our care in February 2025, rescued from a puppy mill in Bulgaria, where she was kept only for breeding.

Despite her difficult past, Zara’s heart is full of love.

She’s friendly, affectionate, and eager to connect with people. Every day she’s discovering what it means to be truly cared for – soft beds, gentle hands, and kind voices.

Zara is ready to leave the shadows of her past behind and step into a future filled with kindness. She’s looking for a forever family who will give her the love and respect she always deserved.

Alma arrived at the shelter in September 2023, together with her five siblings.

They had been living in some bushes near the Arts High School. A kind music teacher discovered them and looked after them for a while, but she had no place to keep them. That’s how they found their way to us.

The teacher had heard about our shelter from someone who had brought us another dog, Garçon, a few years ago.

She’d do best with someone who has a bit of dog experience and plenty of love to give.

Alma walks nicely on a leash and gets along with other dogs, but she is still quite shy. Sudden noises and new situations can scare her, but with patience and love, she’s slowly learning to feel safe. We believe that one day, she will find a family who will help her truly blossom.
